I've seen what appears to be such overuse of the term "existential threat" in the media that I thought, "What would William Safire have to say if he were alive and writing?" Turns out he covered this topic -- 13 years ago. #nytimes nytimes.com/2007/04/08/mag…

If I were #andrewyang, I would be happy if the #NYTimes sent a team of reporters to do an exposé on me and his is all they could come up with. What It Was Like to Work for Andrew Yang nyti.ms/2H3by1n

It’s remarkable how many high ranking #Republicans who attended that event for #acb have come down with covid. It’s as if half the people at an orgy came down with a case of the clap. Unfortunate but not surprising.

Here’s my take on how the financial advice industry is reacting to the prospect of a #joebiden presidency and divided government. #election2020 riaintel.com/article/b1p49g…

#coinbase would be even more successful if they didn’t make it so difficult to open an account. And good luck getting online help.

Had an annoying experience dealing with a #Verizon “digital assistant.” Companies are cutting back on live phone support. But these digital assistants are real humans too who are taking up time. Why not allow then to talk?

How are we going to live without Don Lemon’s nightly self-important stream-of-consciousness diatribes masquerading as news? #cnn #donlemon amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/05/15…

#CNN has not let up with its obsessive coverage of #DonaldJTrump, ignoring many other important stories in the process, even tough he is no longer prez. When Trump dies someday, they will probably assign a reporter to his tomb in the hope of a resurrection.

Caesar’s Sportsbook had one chance to capture all of New York degenerates forever and blew it. #CaesarsSportsbook this app is a dumpster fire

#caesarssportsbook should get out of the online gaming biz until it can respond to its customers in a timely manner. The NY state attorney general should open an investigation.

So it takes a romantic relationship with a colleague to force Jeff Zucker out of #CNN? He should have been canned years ago for taking a great news organization and turning it into an all-politics, ideologically- driven pale imitation of #msnbc and #fox.

On a day when #Bitcoin was up 1.1 percent, the Proshares ETF that is a proxy for it (BITO) lost 1,2 percent. #trackingerror

I keep reading that #elonmusk is interested in a #Twitter that is less restrictive of controversial speech. Yet I also read that he wants to move toward subscriptions. Does that mean he believes in free speech — for those that can afford it?

nypost.com/2022/10/01/tif… This kind of “she said she said” journalism serves little purpose except to generate a quick story for the NYPost. If Post is going to write about whether there is more or less violence on the #subway, why not cite some actual data on the topic?

So #twitter feels that partiagovt funding has compromised independence of #npr but yet #cnn #msnbc #fox and many other news organs aren’t compromised by all the corporate ad dollars they take? Think about Fox’s many gold ads the next time #Tucker warns of coming dollar collapse.

$787 million: that is the price that #Fox is willing to pay #dominion to spare itself the embarrassment of a trial that would have exposed the way the “fair and balanced” sausage is made. Moral of the story: you can defame and settle and it’s just the cost of doing business.

I wish I had a dollar for every company that now bills itself as “AI-powered.” Even blacksmiths will start saying that they are AI-powered. #artificalintelligence #AI

There’s a major fire raging in LA hills and #CNN and #MSNBC are focused on the latest trivial utterances of #DonaldTrump . Small wonder that cable news has become irrelevant.

Seems ironic that #JimmyCarter , who famously was against the pomp and pageantry of the presidency, should have had a hand in planning a funeral fit for a king.
